Food Frenzy in Genting Island

Atsi, Ayn and I went to Genting last February 6-7 for a short vacation. We took the Alisan Bus Express to Genting, which took 6 hours, including stop overs. The bus ride was very comfortable as the seats were sleepers. I don't know why I don't have pictures of the bus but I think Atsi has some in her FB Account. I'll try to upload some pictures in this blog soon. Anyway, below are some of the food that we ate in Genting. The prices there are double from the normal hawkers in Malaysia but I guess it's okay because you ARE in a resort! Haha.



Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce. This is my absolute favorite Vietnamese dish. I used to buy these from the Salcedo Market every Sunday in Makati. Anyway, I really like this dish! The vegetables were fresh and crunchy!


Atsi ordered the Braised Beef with Rice. The beef was very tender and tasty but it wasn't that extraordinary! I like the sauce though. :)


Ayn ordered the Seafood Coconut something (Haha we can't remember was it was!). It came out in a Coconut that was on fire! Haha. The presentation was really awesome! The taste was good too but was wayyyy too spicy for me.



I ordered the Combination Noodles which had beef slices and beef balls in it. It was huge and yummy! I finished everything down to the last drop. Haha.


Free breakfast was included in our Room Package so Atsi and I went down to have it. Ayn was too sleepy to wake up! Haha. The restaurant can literally fit thousands of people! Chefs were breaking dozens of eggs at a time to serve everyone. The food was okay, I guess. The choices were minimal but unlimited so no complains here!



We ate at Marry Brown's for lunch. It was like a KFC because it had a lot of chicken meals. I got this Tower Burger which had an original chicken patty and a spicy chicken patty. Honestly, it just tasted like a Zinger! Nothing special.


Ayn ordered the Chicken Fillet meal which tasted a lot like Jollibee's Chicken Joy.


Atsi ordered this Nasi Pandang Meal. She said it was good!



Hot Sio Wan Ni in Sweet Ginger Soup. Oh how I miss this! My Ama Daddy (Grandma from the Father side) used to make this for us when we were young and I really loved it! This was the first time I tasted it with Sweet Ginger Soup though. I liked it too. Eating this made me feel like I was home. :)


The 3 of us had this during the stop over on our way back to Singapore. It was really cheap but definitely not worth eating!

I'll try to upload more pictures from the trip! Genting is a nice place to visit because it transports you to another place. You can totally relax and the people there are very friendly. There are some negative reviews about the First World Hotel but I really didn't find anything that bad. Considering my total impatience, everything went well. :D I'm sure you'll have a great time!

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan My s

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready.  When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby gi
